We'd see that margin of 537 votes whittle down to double, then single digits, and then see Gore take the lead? If only the US Supreme Court hadn't interjected itself like that, I think it was very likely that would have happened given who was the party arguing the votes shouldn't have been counted and who was the party that argued for the counting of votes.

On the one hand, I'm thrilled to see Franken pull away in Minnesota. On the other hand, it is very bittersweet to know what could have been in 2000.
